A dog bite injury can be a single bite or an attack that mauls the victim, leaving extensive scars. Even a single bite can cause a serious infection or nerve damage. Almost all dog bite victims are psychologically scarred by fear of another attack.

  • Visible Scarring: Bites and tears on the face, arms, and legs can cause visible scars that are a daily reminder of the attack. Be sure to preserve evidence of the injury and the scarring with pictures. Our dog bite law firm can provide a photographer experienced in taking injury photos. Scarring can be helped with hyperbaric chamber oxygen treatments and with plastic surgery.
  • Nerve Damage: A dog bite puncture wound can damage or sever a nerve. The result can be a loss of sensation, numbness, or pain. In some cases, surgery can repair the damage. Our Arizona dog bite victim attorney has handled many cases and can explain your situation to the insurance company or to a jury.
  • Infections: Animal bites carry the danger of infection. If a dog bit you or a member of your family, seek immediate medical attention to fight infection and to begin treatment for the wounds.

If you have questions about dog bites – types of dog bites, Arizona leash law, dangerous dogs, dog owner negligence – and your legal rights, contact our dog bite law firm.

Make sure your injuries are documented and treated. Our dog bite injury lawyer can provide a photographer experienced in photographing injuries and scars.

At our dog bite law firm, we will handle the insurance claim and/or jury trial.
